That'd be a good defense. Who knows if O'Neill can stay healthy and how to work Duran in.
-
Soto is a horrific defender. Judge is fine. Verdugo's defense was overrated as hell in RF (career -2 OAA). He was good, but not GG worthy as some people thought.
-
It was my only point. Thank you.
-
Have Abreu as 4th OFer. Fine. IDC.
-
Wilyer Abreu '23: 135 wRC+ Will he repeat it? Who knows? I guess we'll just have to wait until the end up September before we're allowed to comment.
-
You just asked how the D could be better. I listed a lineup. Like WTH? It's not like the Opening Day lineup is what Cora will run out there for 162. Wasn't Arroyo playing RF on Opening Day one year?
-
Hoping Judge misses another 60+ games!
-
Not sure what me responding to a comment about the "D not being better" in '24 has to do with the Sox not having one of the better OFs in MLB. It's a completely different conversation. There's nothing about the Red Sox right now that will be "one of the better in MLB" except for maybe their manager who will be leaving at the end of the season.
-
I was just looking specifically at defense and didn't want to mention THE BUTTERFLY MAN.
-
I'm also not sure he'd be decisive enough to make that Slaten trade.
-
Bloom would have signed Flexen (FanGraph's FA Tracker lists the Red Sox as the signing team anyway) and probably Paxton or Ryu. Giolito would have been too rich for his blood. He also wouldn't have done the Verdugo or Sale trades. Maybe he signs Nick Senzel?
-
In HOF news, the only players currently tracking above 75% on ballots with 33% reported are: Beltre - 98 Mauer - 82 Helton - 82 Wagner - 79 Sheffield -76 (last year) Sheffield probabably doesn't get in and it'll be a really close call for Wagner and Helton too. I think Mauer gets in and Beltre is basically already in with how the votes have trended.
-
Story - SS Rafaela - CF O'Neillll - LF Abreu - RF That makes the defense a lot better IMO. There are questions about 2B still, but Ron Washington and others who know Grissom believe that he'll be at least an average 2B which would be much better than they had last year at 2B.

Red Sox acquire lots of MLB pitchers, they are just back end of the bullpen guys.
-
The season starts with a 10 game West Coast swing. They were eliminated by the schedule makers. The times for the first 3 games of the year: 10:10 PM 9:40 PM 9:40 PM Seven of the first ten games start after 9:30PM. WTH?
-
Not waiting until ST anymore to judge the roster then?
-
Nothing has really changed in the overall projections though. Yanks got Soto, but the pitching is rough. Rays lost Glasnow. O's added nobody. TOR has done nothing. The only difference is that the Yankees added one year of Soto. Should that really make the Sox wet their pants right now? They were already towards the bottom of the division anyway and haven't added much (Gio and minor trades). If they also signed Yamamoto, would they project to be 4th? 3rd? Not 2nd or 1st for sure.
-
Acquired 7 SP's in two years. Sox could never!
-
The last few years, the Sox have gone cheap. Wonder why the cheap guys aren't producing great results?
-
Rangers had the 4th largest payroll last season at 251M (only 5M less than the Padres).
-
'22 Semien 7/175 Seager 10/325 Gray 4/56 '23 Eovaldi 2/34 Perez 3/39 deGrom 3/120 Heaney 2/20 in season: Chapman, Scherzer, Montgomery trades

Getting to the stadium is a big time pain in the ass. The parking lot was easier than driving around the Fens for a half hour looking for street parking.
-
Wouldn't it be better for them to win the WS and prove to the other owners (specifically the Red Sox) that spending works?!?
-
Dodger Stadium does have good churros. They also have way better beer options than Fenway. Once the construction is finished on Lansdowne, the view at Fenway will be much shittier too.
-
Yeah, if money is the same, they are going to go to a bigger media market where they can make more money outside of baseball. Sox need to offer more than NY or LA. The same thing can be said about the Mets right now though. Seems like players are more than happy to use them to just go to the Dodgers. The Mets have a bigger checking account and bigger media market and same s***** weather. If you want to be sure to sign a guy, offer the MOST money!
